                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 13, 1998

  Mrs. NORTHUP. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the nurses 
of Kentucky, as well as throughout this nation. Nurses are a strong 
component of our health care system and are known for providing health 
care with a human touch.
  In my home state, nurses are celebrating Kentucky Nurses Week and 
they have every reason to be proud. Working hard and achieving 
professional and personal goals, many nurses in my community have 
proven themselves time and time again. Continually striving to upgrade 
standards of care and improve services, Kentucky nurses have shown that 
they are committed to providing the best quality health care possible 
for their patients.
  I hope you will join me in recognizing this noble professional during 
this week, and throughout the year. Certainly, they are deserving of 
this acknowledgment.
